Button Christmas Tree Oh how we love this build up to Christmas, there are so many activities to do and share with the children, the excitement builds from mid November in our house! So when DO you put up your Christmas Tree? And how many Christmas Trees do you have?…

Fabric Coil Bowls We do rather love an upcycled craft at FunCraftsKids and every scrap of old holey tights, stained jersey Ts, and shrunken knitwear gets saved! We are pretty RUBBISH at throwing away what others perceive as rubbish it has to be said, so when we saw these Fabric Coil…

Stone facesTHINGS When our boys were little, we used to say 'let's go on an adventure!' rather than 'let's go for a walk'... The word 'walk' seemed to bring out the moans and groans, whereas the 'adventure' was far more exciting a prospect, and they used to run to grab…

Plus, backs of envelopes, notes sent home from school, and the discarded folded up kids drawings destined for the recycling bin, when I can't bear to see…

Painted wooden beads We all of us love a bit of jewellery... My little boy was an avid collector and a very sweet friend of mine gave him his own treasure box FULL of costume jewellery when he was about two. Full of trinkets and wooden beads and baubles, he…
